The notification allows to the hotword module to receive instruction from the assistant module by notification to pause or resume itself in the right time.
When assistant 'talk it pause the hotword detection
ASSISTANT_ACTIVATED: “HOTWORD_PAUSE”,
When the assistant is done it restart the hotword detection .
ASSISTANT_DEACTIVATED: “HOTWORD_RESUME”,

@sdetweil@ejay-ibm well i got a new mic and i tried it out, still no detection for MMM-Hotword. It works for GoogleAssistantMk2 when i click the button on the screen, but no hotword detection. I worried that it may be because of snowboy failing to install properly the first time for some reason, so i went into the module in the console and did npm install and got this:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword $ npm install

@jmartin1009 this is possible it’s saying this because it’s already there, but i wasn’t sure i figured i’d give it another go. Let me know if there’s anything i should change or try, but i know this mic does work, as it shows up in

arecord -l

and it comes up and i can select it in alsamixer and everything, just can’t get hotword to hear me.

Hi, why?
When I change the activation word, it doesn’t work for me?,
I want to change it to another word, like alexa, jarvis, etc, and it doesn’t work for me.
I have copied the parameters of @ejay-ibm and nothing.
